POWSIL™-59156

Self-dispersed Silicone Softener

POWSIL™-59156 is a self-dispersed silicone fluid designed to address common issues with traditional amino-silicone, such as thermal migration, oily feel, and color changes. It delivers a super silky, smooth hand feel without oil spots, similar to macro-emulsions of amino-silicone.

POWSIL™-59156

Introduction


POWSIL™ 59156 is self-dispersed silicone fluid. It is developed to improve thermal migration, oil-spots, oiling/greasy feel & color change which are common issues for traditional amino-silicone.


Benefits


  • Provides super silky and smooth hand feel like macro-emulsions of amino-silicone, no oil-spots;


  • Can be readily diluted to any grades without oil-spots in processing;


  • Cost effective even at very low dosage (1-5g/l);


  • Provides a high level of natural softness to synthetics and their blends with natural fibers and silkiness of cotton fabric;


  • Imparts excellent fiber elasticity and shape recovery;


  • Hindered amine function & slight or no yellowing;


  • Excellent color fastness to washing;


  • Excellent stability under most finishing conditions, including jet/overflow;


  • Can be used with crease-resistant (durable press) resins, catalysts and optionally OBA’s;


  • Re-dyeable & over dyeable.

Add water and Na2CO3 and detergent onto fabric tank and then heat to 100°C for 6 min. Then rinse fabric with acidic water and water.


Packing and Storage


To ensure that the product quality is maintained, the container should be tightly sealed when not in use. It should be stored at normal room temperature, preventing prolonged exposure to extreme heat and cold conditions, which may cause product separation. POWSIL™ 59156 tends to be sediment on bottom during storage period. If the product is separated, stir the contents to homogeneous. If the product is frozen, thaw it at warm condition and stir after thawed
